What is not clear is if I had done a project reset first would that have cleared the processing slowdown without the NVIDIA uninstall/clearing process?

Just out of curiosity, why did you go for "nvidia-driver-495" ?
I've been watching [NVIDIA Developer Forums] [Graphics / Linux/Linux] for a while now, and almost everyone has had some problem with the 495 driver, though mostly laptops and/other Linux distro's than Ubuntu.

For some reason I thought the 495 driver was the latest tested driver. Then I saw it wasn't tested.
And I kept having crashing installs which is another reason why cleared everything out and "started over" on the driver installs.

Curious why you are running the short term, New Feature branch drivers instead of the long term, Production branch drivers?
It gets back to being under the impression that the 495 driver was the one I should be using.
Because the install via the Ubuntu update program kept crashing I finally cleaned out everything and used the PPA trick to get it installed.
Now I understand why the 495 version was listed but didn't say "tested".
I think the last tested version I have is 4.70 so will be down grading to that in a few minutes.

FWIW Nvidia has recently announced that an RTX 3090 Ti will be produced, with some awesome specs quoted. So alas, yet another exorbitantly priced video card which will be as scarce as unicorns for the average punter.
Cheers, Mike.

I think sticking with the 470-series drivers is a safer bet right now.
I'm using ver 496.49 with both of my gpus, a 1050Ti and a 1660Ti, and both return valid units 99.9% of the time.
of course bugs wont effect everyone. but this is also on a Windows 11 system, and Tom has a Linux system. Also note that your Linux system is still using 470 as well.
with widespread issues regarding 495 branch, it's still a safer bet to stick with 470 for now unless you NEED some feature in the 495 branch, which is unlikely for most people. updating video drivers "just to update" isn't always best operationally for a 24/7 BOINC cruncher. I usually don't update for quite a while, until a newer branch has proven itself stable or I need some feature in a newer branch (like openCL 3.0 in the 470+ branches). if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

. . FWIW since I updated to 495 branch my run times seem to be slowing down. But it coincided with the outage so I was not sure where the issue lay. I think I will return to the 470 drivers and check it out.
. . Since both appear as available drivers in my additional drivers list can I just re-select the 470 option or do I need to go through the purging process again?
